A.n 1 stawppp you'll make me blush 🙃 anon! I'm happy you like my writting!
A.n 2 what a cool concept, and thanks for suggesting a different variant of [Name] i love beast men/woman characters
[Name] Claw, the unmatched champion in the chess world. Her precision, her wit and her calmness makes all opponents sweat. All except one, Leona kingscholar the only guy [Name] has never figured out. Now the Lioness had to come back to NRC to compete against him, and other players. This year's competition was in Leona's homeland Sunset Savana
In previous years when [Name] was in school, her first encounter with the second prince was a rather peculiar one. He had arrived at their match 15 minutes late leaving her stranded on the table as a group of fellow chess enthusiasts stared at the odd display, her tail swatter left and right her confusion becoming more one of annoyed. Then he came through the big double doors, his stance casual, slightly slouching as he came over to her table and sat down, manspreading as he got comfortable
“You have finally arrived. I am [Name] Claw” the lioness raised her hand to shake his, her lids half lidded slightly spacing out as she stared at him “i’m not one for scheduled miss [Name], i come when i want too” he took her hand and shook it, it was firm just as hers. He meant business even if his stance was one of a wave calmly gracing the sand “not very professional, but I suppose it won't matter in the end” the game started. Leona clicked his time “oh yeah? You sound confident” [Name]’s eyes focused on the board as she made her first move, her long nails picked and placed the piece one up “i’m good and i know that” Leona smirked “confident. I like that in a woman” she didn't pick up the slight flirt “your a slacker, i hate that in a man”
Throughout the game Leona and [Name] would play at each other's throats, “bold move” the prince grinned “what? You like it” the lioness rolled her eyes as she moved her pawn “all I'm saying is you are playing in my face” Leona placed his elbow on the table “is it not a game?” [Name]’s tail flicked “you may be calculated yet casual but you don't hold much weight this time around, Leona” this made him pause before chuckling “good notes but this is just the beginning. Our beginning” [Name] finally looked up her (e/c) eyes meeting a neutral expression "don't go crying to your mother when you lose. Little prince” and that was the start of their rivalry
In the present [Name] entered the mirror and into the Sunset Savana castle, the grand entrance filled by different people, some she recognized, others were new and just may have gotten into the community, she runs a hand through her hair and pops her hip looking around.
‘Jeez what a bore’ the lioness walks out of the crowded room, they make way for her whispering to each other. It was a normal reaction at this point, no one else has beaten Leona not once except for her “yeah it’s me now keep it moving” she waved her hand dismissively and made her way to the tables where they had the schedule for this year's games. It would last a week to have all the games, starting 7am to 4pm.
[Name] handed the people of the table her chart and received her key for her room, “prince Leona wanted to make sure you git the best room, Miss Claw” the woman raised a brow but pocketed the room key into her skirt pocket. Leona watched from the hallways his back resting ona pillar “well, well,well look who finally showed up” [Name] sidedyed him before turning slightly in his direction, she crossed her arms under her chest “and looked at who waited like a behaved dog.” Leona laughed and pushed off the pillar walking over to her a sly grin on his features "don't act so cold princess, you've been itching for this rematch as have i since our last one” his tail slightly caressed hers, she swatter it away “took you long enough to respond, your lucky the last time. Getting my queen in the last 5 minutes you're a sneaky kitty” Leona shrugged “i got better things to do princess” the lioness rolled her eyes “hows school? 20 years old and still you struggle to graduate”
Leona reached and played with her hair “tch who cares not like it matters, sorry i aint like you miss little graduated early” (h/c) eyes narrowed at him “oh forgive me, kitty i suppose you wouldn't know the sweet success of academics. You surely wasting your talents into failing on purpose" this made him frown “did-” she interrupted “Ruggie is quite the blabbermouth with a lot of stress with having to keep you in track, Leona” he had completely forgotten that their last match was at his school thanks to that oh so generous Crowley Ruggie had sneaked to talk to her and in doing so they seem to be having fun talking about him behind his back “well who cares, not like it makes a difference” [Name] scoffed and started walking, Leona close behind “your good but too lazy and or stubborn to realize you could excel. Which makes your well constructed persona crack at the bottom of the base” Leona shoved his hands in his pocket “yeah well, you're no better. Staring at me blankly doesn't intimidate me like the others”
[Name] went out into one of the many practice rooms and sat down “sure makes you stay longer, messing with my practice time like always” the second prince sat in front of her “I would rather talk to you than these other herbivores, you're like me. Cutthroat and precise” the two started fixing the pieces in sync “thats dumb” she flatly spoke “we are different the only things we share is the love of this game. The strategies, the playthrough, finding different routes. It’s all beautiful ” Leona’s face softened as he stared at her, with how long they have been rivals you’d think this could get old but no this was the highlight of the year. [name]’s mind, her tone, the pure unfilteredness she had was attractive to the second prince “deeply, beautiful" he said as he watched her.
During the week of the competition, the two had played for hours on end they especially had long sessions of games they had played with other competitors, trying to find the reason the choosing of their strategies “and then he went like this, and then this” [name] demonstrated how her last opponent had played with the rook and her own king, then how she took him down “ah i see…but if he had done this” Leona reached over the board and grabbed her hand and helped her see a different angle making her eyes slightly widen as she felt the warmth of his hand “ah..t-that makes sens *cough cough* anyways” she took her hand back, even if her instinct slightly screamed at her “good, now try what i showed you yesterday. With the rook”
[Name]’s eyes would trail from the pisces up to leona, was he always so…nice looking? His bone structure on his face was symmetrical, long brown hair messy yet flawlessly falling from his shoulder his bangs slightly covering his eyes ‘so green…i never looked at them closely’ Leona looked back at her after he placed his piece “what? Got something in my face, princess?” he manspreaded father and leaned forward “no i just…” “what?” [Name] shrugged “your eyes are like a dark emerald green, and I just noticed” Leona raised a brow, surprised the lioness always talked about chess and little else “well thanks. Your eyes are nice too, you could model if you ever get damn bored of this game” this made [Name] snicker “no seriously. You got a nice face and body” the (h/c)nette tail flicked up “oh, well i supposed if you think so maybe i could” Loena nodded “no ifs or buts, it's just a clear fact. Now come on” he gesture to the board “your turn, princess”
After that something changes in the two, something softer had melted in that practice and slowly. [Name] and Leona started to talk more about different topics, about spelldrive, music, and other games they could play one day outside of chess. Then as the week came to a close.
Leona walked back and forth infront of [Name]’s room, his tail ridged thoughts messy ‘fuck what am i doing, i look lik e a damn fool waiting like this’ he sighed and leaning against the wall, he was gonna do it he was gonna ask [Name] for a date. Even if another part of him tried to make him walk away and not to act on this. Just as he was gonna turn away from her door it opened up, revealing a done up [Name] wearing a simple white blouse with a v neckline showing her gold jewelry, a red mini circle skirt skirt paired with matching gold strap heels that tied up her leg, her hair done in a high ponytail, with some of her front hairs framing her features, on her ears gold hoops.
[Name] paused at the door as she held onto the handle of her suitcase “Leona” the lioness smiled, her tail perking up “good afternoon,funny i thought you slept till 1pm” she stepped out the doorway and closed the door. Loena was stumped, that smiled on her face was genuinely the only one he felt was real and honest, not hiding anything as she looked at him, not like years before it was obvious this tournament made them feel different about each other “you underestimate me, princess” leona stepped closer as did she “well even so, it’s nice to see you are you perhaps gonna walk me out?” Loena’s smile dimmed slightly at that then replaced it with a smirk “what kind of rival would i be if i didnt?” the (h/c)nette chuckled “i supposed that makes sense” she signaled him to walk with her.
As they walked Leona couldn't help but feel slightly sad, even if he knew he shouldn't. I mean it wasn't like he wasn't gonna see her ever again, he had her number but even so he'd never used it but the need too was piling up. His body had acted against him and thought the week he'd actually reached out to text but he wanted more somehow, more of her.
[Name] was quiet but her thoughts where betraying her ‘i dont wanna leave just yet…but why…’ she looked up at Leona who looked so nonchalant, the way he carried himself was one of a lion who didn't care what the world thought but deep down she felt as if she was missing something from the puzzle that was Leona Kingscholar.
Stopping at the mirror [name] turned to Leona “I actually had fun this time around. Did you?” Leona took out his hands from his pockets and thought for a monet as he stared at her “i cant deny it, this was one of our best games [Name]” the lioness grinned “im glad you think so,i will see you next year” she started dragging her suitcase once more, but before she could enter the mirror a hand reached out, [Name] looked back finding Leona with eyes she had never seen before “wait.” she stepped away from the mirror yet he did not let go “i know you have to go back home but, i just…” he growled slightly before grabbing her arms his eyes ablaze with fire “i want to do something different with you this time around.” the (h/c)nette heart raced slightly “leona?” he wrapped his arms around her "I don't want to let you go this time around, I don't want to think about you for a year and only seeing you once. Be mine, let me take you out on a date”
[Name] wrapped her arms around him, awkwardly but still she tried her best to navigate this new feeling she hadn't noticed till recently. Leona, had subtly changed she did hear of his loss at the spelldrive game and another incident Ruggie told her so maybe just maybe this was worth her time. the only guys she didn't want to just play chess with. So why not? [Name] placed a hand on his cheek “i think…i would like that. Just don't do anything that will make me mad at you” she patted his cheek gently, Leonsa grinned “no promises” then he grabbed her and tossed her over his shoulder “come on princess i got plans for us” the lioness kicked her feet “huh?! Already?” Leona chuckled “you said yes, so im gonna take initiative after that confirmation or what kind of a prince do you think i am?” “a lazy one that sleeps till noon?” Leona's tail swished “tch shut up, now let me treat you to a good ass dinner princess” [Name] sighed smiling slightly “fine, i suppose i can indulge in the rouge prince” the brown haired male grinned “oh you definitely will, princess~”
